Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 111 Change
A few years later, the previous conflict was like a wooden thorn on the fingertips, which had been "pulled out" without knowing it.

The conflict between husband and wife will not always exist, but the relationship will.

As one scholar said.

Time will separate people, distance will separate people, but some people are inseparable.

Wei Pingan and Zhou Wen are the inseparable couple.

Noodles tonight.

Grandma ordered the noodles and ordered the noodles, and didn't take out the leftovers from yesterday, which is taboo for the elderly.

She didn't want her granddaughter and grandson-in-law to quarrel because of the previous incident.

Everything is a fresh start.

In ordinary families, most men don't cook, and the atmosphere of machismo in this era is still very strong.

It is said that women can hold up half the sky, but they will automatically return to the state of housewives when they return home.

There are not many people like Wei Pingan who love to cook and really insist on doing housework.

So when Wei Pingan said that he was going to make fried sauce, Zhou Wen didn't stop him, but followed him into the kitchen.

Wei Dabao, who is thick-headed and thick-headed, is playing with his grandma in the house, looking at the kitchen frequently.

When I see my mother, I think of that strange person who I want to get close to.

Is that dad?

Why is he the father, and why are there aunts and uncles where the mother works?
In the kitchen, Wei Pingan was pressing oil.

Pour half a pot of peanut oil into the pot, cut the onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, aniseed and spices into it, bring to a boil together, wait for the oil to taste and put it out, then put the oil directly when cooking.

This is the remnant of Wei Ping'an's memory when he was a super chef in the previous life.

Well, it's unlocked now.

This combination of spices and fire control is the unique "secret recipe" of each chef.

So that the same material can make different tastes.

This kind of extravagant oil extraction can only happen when Wei Ping'an is around.

In the past few years when Wei Ping'an was away, although there was nothing lacking due to Ai Muli's help and Zhou Wen's work, he was really not rich.

Take the Jia family in a courtyard house for comparison. It is also an employee, and there are elderly people who do not provide food. In fact, the living conditions are not too bad.

The only internal gap between the two families in the past few years may be that Zhou Wen raised one child, while the Jia family had three children.

Before Jia Dongxu's accident happened, Qin Huairu was pregnant with a child, maybe because the interval was not long, so she didn't notice it at the time, and then...

That is Sophora japonica.

The external gap is somewhat larger.

Before Wei Pingan left, he left a lot of money tickets. The two companies also have subsidies during the holidays. Elder sister Zhou Wen will help out every now and then, and the old lady also pastes matchboxes...

It's just that the whole country has been short of food for several years, and I have a quarrel with my big brother and tightened my belt to pay off the debt...

So many things cannot be bought with money and tickets.

In fact, the lack of Wei Ping'an in this family's life is not only a lack of feelings, but also a lack of material supplies.

Well, if Wei Ping'an hadn't left enough money, Zhou Wen and the relatives of Liu Xiaoya's supply and marketing cooperative would have really become a starving stream at the end of the month like Jia Zhang's family.

Now Wei Pingan is back.

With several years of accumulation, and dozens of monthly lottery draws, Wei Ping'an has a lot of confidence when it comes to supplies.

Next to him, Zhou Wen diced the newly bought fat and thin pork belly, shredded green onions, and dug out two spoonfuls of miso from the jar in the corner.

Grandma's Northeast craftsmanship has been brought to the capital. The taste of soy bean paste is quite positive, which is perfect for making fried sauce.

Wei Pingan is in charge.

Pour a small spoonful of freshly boiled oil in a hot pan, stir-fry a small amount of shredded green onion, add diced meat, a small spoonful of sugar, fry until cooked, add dark soy sauce and miso, stir out of the pan.

The young couple enjoyed the scene where the husband and wife sing together.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Wei Pingan caressed Zhou Wen's thin cheek and gave him a mouthful.

Even for old couples, Zhou Wen blushed, and Wei Pingan was a little bit over the top.

"Let's work hard tonight and try to get another sister for Dabao..."

Zhou Wen bowed his head slightly, nodded imperceptibly, and hurried out of the kitchen with the fried sauce.

"It's dinner time."

When you go out, the dumplings come in outside.

Today, welcome the return of the male master of the family.

Without Ai Mudun and with Wei Dabao added, there are still five people.

"Dabao, this person is Dad..."

"dad."

Meng Bao Nuo Nuo's voice is very sweet, which makes Wei Ping'an feel sublimated.

Children in this day and age are easy to feed, they are more than four years old, and they have long been eating whole grains with adults, and diced meat and noodles are also stuffed into their mouths.

It's just that the chopsticks can't be used well, and I don't know how the old lady is so powerful, so she got Dabao a small wooden spoon.

It's just that it's still too small to be eaten in the arms of the grandma, which is more in the way.

The old lady was very happy, and she could tell that she loved Wei Dabao very, very much.

The old lady used to not talk when eating, but now she coaxes the children almost non-stop.

Zhou Zimo grew up, became more sensible, and no longer gobbled up food.

When digging the fried sauce, I just dig along the point close to him, which is quite a rule on the dinner table.

It can be seen that Mrs. Zhang attaches great importance to the only child of the Zhou family, but it is not unprincipled pampering.

"How is Zimo studying?"

"It's okay. Brother-in-law, I started teaching Dabao how to read during the summer vacation."

"It's good to apply what you've learned."

"Brother-in-law, are you a scientist? You are going to contribute to the construction of the motherland, aren't you?"

In the education of primary school students, this kind of "speaking skills" is a set.

As the saying goes, brainwashing should be done as early as possible, and if the foundation is laid at an early age, there will be fewer people who turn back in the future.

In fact, after the first cannon was fired, many people came to their senses belatedly.

The reason why unsung heroes are unsung is that they are in the circle of ordinary people.

Because of the success of these technical talents, they will definitely receive a lot of attention and even assassination.

But the capital is the capital of a country, and the people here are not ordinary people.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, who knows what bigwigs are among the relatives and friends of the uncle who is squatting on the curb to bask in the sun.

Wei Pingan transferred the R&D team of the second hydrogen cannon.

It was only two months after the research sounded, and the person came back.

The previous gossip in the alley has long since become a rootless rumor, and if some jealous and jealous people hadn't persisted, they would have changed their tone a long time ago.

"Well, that's right. According to our rank, it should be called an engineer."

"Then you are the best engineer?"

Wei Pingan smiled: "There is no one who is the most powerful. Everyone in the engineer has their own good and bad, and they are all the same."

After several years of scientific research, Wei Ping'an has long since ceased to be called Master Wei, but there is nothing to show off at home with the door closed.

"It's been so long since you came back, can you rest for a few days?"

What Zhou Zimo cares about is whether his brother-in-law is strong or not. Only his daughter-in-law cares about whether he can rest for a few more days.

"This time I gave a long vacation, and I will go to work in the unit after the new year."

Hearing about the incident that took place over a month ago, Zhou Wen felt happy from the bottom of his heart, but also felt a little sad.

Being able to take such a long vacation shows that the previous work intensity must have been quite high.

Although they survived, the husband and wife are united, thinking of the sins her husband suffered before, a large reason was caused by his attitude at the time.

"It's okay, it's all over."

Wei Pingan saw Zhou Wen's distress and patted the back of her hand.

"Okay, look at you, it's great to be back in Ping An, talk about something happy, Dabao's name hasn't been named yet, Ping An, give your son a name."

"I've already thought of the name."

"It's called Wei Jingzhou. Zhou means smooth sailing. I hope Dabao's life will be smooth sailing when he grows up. In addition, Zhou Tongzhou also represents my gratitude to Xiaowen."

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for spreading branches and leaves for the old Wei family."

"Dabao, you have a name, from now on you will be called Wei Jingzhou."

It was too easy for Wei Ping'an's family to change their account name at the police station.

Zhou Wen belongs to the police station, the front and back yards of the Household Registration Section.

If it weren't for this relationship, it would be really difficult to change the name.

The current household registration management in Beijing is "port card". It is quite troublesome to manually search and modify, and then classify and file according to the Chinese pinyin.

If it is not for internal acquaintances, almost no one is willing to help with such trivial matters.

Most of them find an official reason to push things off.

Big Wei Jingzhou, nicknamed Dabao.

Wei Pingan gave the cute baby a name, and it is reasonable to implement the right to be a father.

Carefully took Dabao over and put it on his lap, his heart was filled with excitement, his face was also full of joy, and his back molars were all grinning.

Dabao is very solid, no matter how he fiddles with it, he doesn't get angry, and he even giggles.

Looking at the scene of the old man and the young man giggling, Zhou Wen felt that the previous hardships and sadness were nothing.

With him, there is a whole family feeling, and all expectations and waiting are satisfied at this moment.

……

Winter solstice, the day to eat dumplings.

But breakfast is normal.

Last night, the old lady slept with Dabao on the second floor in the east.

The bed on the second floor is big enough to sleep three people.

When Wei Ping'an didn't come back before, whenever Ai Muzhen came to live, it was arranged like this.

And most importantly...

The young couple reunited after a long absence must have a lot of private conversations and private things to do.

The old lady felt that she was in good health, and it would not be a problem to be able to bring up two more children.

Today is the winter solstice, and it is also a rest day.

So the young couple had no restraint last night.

So Zhou Wen got up a little late.

Wei Ping'an got up early.

In the past few years, apart from his strong body, his biological clock has not changed after countless overtime work and staying up all night.

Get up and go out, go for a walk outside.

At the end of 63, the disaster passed, but the sequelae continued, and it may not be until the second half of next year that we will truly return to the past.

Any mistakes will have consequences, just as all efforts will be rewarded.

This is a lesson for the country to face nature, and it is a labor pain.

And after the pain, you will grow stronger and mature.

The breakfast shop bought coke rings with bean juice, fried dough sticks and tofu nao, and a few large vegetarian bags.

It's really not common to be so rich early in the morning.

The old capital has a characteristic, that is nostalgia.

So many stalls are regular customers.

Wei Ping'an is a new face. He bought so much and was so "horrific" that everyone talked about him after he left.

"Whose family..."

"Which unit bought it early in the morning?"

"The one in the innermost courtyard of the alley in front, the one surnamed Wei..."

"Oh, I see, the middle courtyard is separated by a small courtyard alone."

"You mean the big, tall policewoman? Isn't her man dead?"

"Tch, that's all nonsense. He's a serious engineer. He's been working hard and drinking the northwest wind to do research and make contributions..."

"Hey, you didn't say it earlier." "How could you say it earlier? You still want to say a few more words, please forgive me, this is a confidential matter..."

Keep it secret and you say it in front of so many people.

"Look at what you said, people have endured so much hardship, and the study of cannonballs has hardened our backs. I can't spare people a meal."

"Don't say it, you are open to what you said."

Wei Pingan didn't know, he went back to the courtyard with breakfast.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Bugui pushing a cart out.

"Hey, Ping An, are you back?"

"Well, I came back yesterday and went fishing so early?"

"Now you have to go early, and if you go late, there will be no place."

When fishing in winter, you have to dig holes in the ice and sit next to the ice nest to fish.

The main thing is not to get too close, and you can’t go to the big middle, and there are skating on the ice...

Anyway, under the constraints of various conditions, the number of people fishing has increased, because of the lack of supplies, and because there are fewer places in winter.

That's why Yan Bugui woke up early, ready to "occupy a seat".

A few years later, the hostility has long been worn away by time.

In fact, Yan Bugui didn't make Wei Pingan suffer a lot, but instead suffered a small loss because of Wei Pingan.

Let's not talk about laughing and killing grievances. It's a face-saving project to say hello when we meet. Since the other party takes the initiative, Wei Ping'an doesn't mind dealing with it.

There was movement in the west room in the hallway.

Wei Pingan yelled, Zhou Zimo ran out and took the coke ring and soybean juice from Wei Pingan.

Wei Pingan was not used to this stuff, and neither was Zhou Wen, but the old lady and Zhou Zimo liked it.

Quite surprising.

"If you don't go to school, why do you wake up so early?"

"The exam is just over a week away, and I want to review more."

"Well, not bad, it deserves a reward."

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to reward me for?"

Ever since Zhou Zimo went to school, his wish was to become a scientist.

In the past two years, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be one in his family, and he was also his first teacher.

Great.

This is no joke.

When Zhou Zimo went to school, he was almost not regarded as a "child prodigy".

Well, now he is also a shining good student of Hongxing Primary School with excellent academic performance.

The most important thing is that this child's family has never defaulted on tuition fees.

Won the unanimous praise of teachers.

The original source was that the brother-in-law in the family gave him academic enlightenment.

"Reward you for a while to do carpentry with me, and make a chair for Dabao."

"Ah? Don't you have so many chairs at home?"

"What is the purpose of studying? It is to better serve life. Do you pay attention to the details of daily life? Does Dabao have to be hugged by your sister or grandma every time he eats?"

"Haven't you ever thought about helping them reduce their burden through the knowledge you have learned?"

Learning is to better serve life and society, not to study for the sake of reading. That is a nerd and has no social value.

Wei Ping'an came back, and he felt that he still couldn't give up on this first-generation enlightenment disciple, even if he practiced in advance.

To enlighten Wei Dabao for future education, oh no, he is called Wei Jingzhou now, so make preparations in advance.
